Del. Primary Is Democracy In Action!

Yesterday was Delaware’s primary for Republican and Democratic nominees to the November elections, and, hot diggity dog, what a day it was!

The primary was moved from its usual Saturday time slot to a Tuesday one to allow Jewish voters to vote. But, apparently, there aren’t many Jews in Delaware — who knew? — or they (and the rest of the state) decided that voting was for tools, because, well:

Despite clear skies and temperatures comfortably in the high 60s, most Delawareans didn’t venture to the polls.

For statewide offices, Democratic voter turnout averaged 6 percent and Republican voter turnout was 8 percent, according to state election officials.

Sitting at a booth in Pike Creek’s the Crossroads restaurant Tuesday morning, registered Democrats Jeannette and James Truax, of Newport, said they didn’t know there was an election taking place.

But, hey, nobody lost or won by one vote, so it’s okay, people.
